They all knew about Liu Yi leading people to requisition the grain in Gao's grain store, as well as about sending troops to guard Gao Dou's family, these people all knew, and they didn't know what this disaster grain official was going to do with them.

Liu Yi also knew that they didn't care about the food and drink here at the moment, but wanted to hear why he had summoned them to the official office. However, it was only after recognizing each other with them that Liu Yi was not in a hurry to deal with them, and Shi Shiran put down his chopsticks after he had eaten and drunk enough.

"Ahem......" Liu Yi wiped his mouth with a clean white towel, then coughed twice, glanced at the businessmen and gentlemen in the table below, and said, "I think everyone knows why this official summoned you here, right?" ”

"Know, know ......"

Seeing that Liu Yi finally spoke, everyone hurriedly walked out of the banquet and knelt in front of Liu Yi's desk.

"My lord, Xiao is the shopkeeper of the Zhangjia Grain Store, and our Zhang family is also like the Gao Family Grain Store, donating all the grain and grass that is still stored now to fund Lord Liu's disaster relief, and in addition, like the shopkeeper of the Gao family, donate 50,000 taels of silver......"

"Our Geng family is the same......"

"Lord Liu, the small one is from the Shen family's wine shop. Willing to donate ......"

"My lord, I'm the ...... of the Qian family's cloth workshop"

……

As soon as Liu Yi's words fell, everyone rushed to donate money and food in the name of donation, and more or less reported to Liu Yi the amount of money and food they were willing to donate.

Hehe, there are some things that do not need to be said too clearly, surviving in troubled times, or in today's Han environment, they are indeed very good at dancing, very good at flattery, and know how to sacrifice money to save their lives.

Therefore, although Liu Yi did not use iron-blooded means to force them, they also understood that no matter how powerful they were in the local area, they were just people and could not fight officials.

These local gentry knew very well that if their family business still wanted to be preserved and continued to operate, it would inevitably be under the shadow of the government. Therefore, no matter who is here as a parent official, they must settle down enough capital to get married. Their so-called donation to the disaster is essentially equivalent to sending money and food to Liu Yi's private person, after these money and food are given to Liu Yi, they will not bother to ask more about what Liu Yi will do, they all understand these unspoken rules.

Today it is Liu Yi here, and there is another official, and they will also use money to tie up. The only difference is that because of the matter of the Gao family's grain store, they had to bleed profusely, and they didn't dare to just take a little money and grain out to tie things up, but to show a little sincerity appropriately.

They all know that if the amount of his donation is not satisfactory to this disaster relief grain officer, who knows if he will not only requisition grain and take money, but also imprison and guard his family like he did with the Gao family grain store? They all knew in their hearts that if the family members they were waiting for were all pinched by this disaster relief grain officer, then there would be no room for them to speak.

There were a few businessmen and representatives of several local noble families, and they volunteered to donate a lot of money and food.

The grain alone is about 400,000 catties, and the money is about 300,000 taels. The three grain stores alone donated 200,000 catties, and the others were donated by those local famous families. The money, some more and some less, was almost all taken out according to the amount they could bear, but most of them were about 10,000 taels, and only two or three grain stores donated 50,000 taels each.

In times of war, there is nothing more profitable than selling grain and grass, so whether it is food or money, the three grain stores donate a little more.

"Okay, Lord Yu Ze, you have registered the amount of money and food they pledged to the official, and you will collect all the money and food in the next few days, and all of them will be summarized as materials for disaster relief." Liu Yijian achieved the expected effect, just requisitioned a Gao family grain store and let those businessmen and gentry automatically stand up and donate, and the income was a huge amount of money.

"Everyone, I Liu Yi is grateful, Liu is here to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the people of Julu. The money and food you donate will go to the needy people in need. Liu Yi pretended to be very surprised, and stood up in surprise and saluted the businessmen below: "Hehe, Liu has just arrived, I wanted to invite you to come and get to know him, who would have thought that you would be so enthusiastic and caring, and the money and food you donated can solve a lot of difficulties for the official." ”

"My lord, this is what we should do, how to say it, we are all Julu people, seeing so many people suffering from military disasters and natural disasters, seeing that their lives are difficult to maintain, so it is also appropriate to take out a little money and food, for the vast number of people in difficulty, we can only do this now." The shopkeeper of Zhangjialiang's store rushed to flatter.

"Well, okay, shopkeeper Zhang said well, so let's sit down, let's start talking about business." Liu Yi had already recognized the middle-aged man surnamed Zhang, and nodded to him.

"Business?"

……

When everyone listened to what Liu Yi was talking about now, they couldn't help but beat drums in their hearts. Hehe, they thought that Liu Yi summoned them to ask for bribes, who would have thought that they had already sent the money and food, and now they are talking about business? Wouldn't it be that you still want to investigate the crime of collaborating with the enemy who funded the Yellow Turban Army in the first place?

"That's the case, it's always early to say these things now, but this official can't stay in Julu for a long time, so I'll tell you first." Liu Yi suddenly tightened his face and said: "In the next four or five years, all the excess grain output of our Julu County cannot be purchased by you merchants, and your own surplus grain cannot be sold to the outside world, and must be sold to the Zhenlu Grain Mansion, including the Julu Mansion, the tax grain obtained by the government, in addition to the grain that must be handed over to the imperial court, the surplus must also be sold to the grain purchase office set up by the official in Julu. Those who violate the rules will be killed! And the whole family will be beheaded! ”

In the end, the murderous aura in Liu Yi's eyes suddenly appeared, which made everyone below feel a chill down their backs, and they couldn't help but shudder.

At this time, these businessmen and gentry were silent, and although there were countless doubts and incomprehensions and dissatisfactions in their hearts, no one dared to raise any objections at this time.

"Why? Just because I, the grain officer of Zhencao, is to help the people in all the disaster-stricken areas of the world, not just to Zhenji Julu, today in Julu rescued 100,000 people in the county, so that the people can resume production, and in the future, there will be food to wrap their stomachs, and there will be a surplus of production, so that the excess part should be taken out, so that the official can take this grain and go to other places to help the poor and affected people. Liu Yi explained a little: "Of course, I know that all the people here are merchants, and I won't take the grain for nothing, and I will also pay to buy it from you, and the price will be negotiated later." ”

"My lord, this ...... Isn't that good? ”

After Liu Yi finished speaking, someone finally stood up and said.

Liu Yi's regulation is tantamount to cutting off the financial route of many people, especially those grain merchants, who rely on buying and stockpiling at a low price, and then selling it to other places to sell at a high price. Although Liu Yi said that he would pay for the acquisition, the price would not be high, so some of them had an opinion.

"Oh? What's bad? Now any of you can raise any objections, and in the future, you can only do so in accordance with this regulation, and no one can violate them. Whoever has any opinions, they can put it forward now. Liu Yi glanced at the person who stood up to speak, and when he saw that it was someone from the Geng family, he asked with a calm face.

It is true that Liu Yi came to relieve the disaster on behalf of the emperor, but Liu Yi was never an official who was stationed here, and he always had to leave soon, and some of the merchants and gentry who had a lot of background, if it weren't for the fact that Liu Yi almost took over the military power and government affairs of Julu as soon as he came, they might not have donated to Liu Yi so smoothly.

Therefore, there must be a lot of people among them who just want to mess around with this disaster relief grain official.
